hugehe most part, that between the two houses. that is a little bit of luck considering what could have happened. there is the size of that huge ball, twice as tall as i m. it has that attic smell. this situation could be worse. it is unfortunate but it could lot worse had the tree onee down right on homes but that did not happen. not is the exception and in northwest. power inthat, we have the neighboring homes. the houses that were hit got infected and do not have power. otherwise we see lights on in the neighboring homes.

41 degrees right now along nebraska ave. i would not be surprised if we two wet flakes mixed with the rain this morning. would be the exception and not the norm. if you don't see that by 9:00 a.m., it will not happen. the ground is very saturated and feel the mud beneath the grass. that is the latest from northwest washington. >> another example of the the wind.f president obama: there's just no quit in america...

and you're seeing that right now. over five million new jobs. exports up forty one pnecent. home values... rising. our auto industry... back. and our heroes are comg ho. we're not there yet, but we've made real progress and the... last thing we should do is turn back now. here's my plan for the next four years: making education and training a national priority; building on our manufacturing boom; boosting american-made energy; reducing the deficits responsibly by cutting where... we can, and asking the wealthy ay pay a little more. and ending the war in afghanistan, so we can... do some nation-building here at home. that's the right path. so read my plan, compare it to governor romney's... and decide whis is better for you. it's an honor to be your president... and i'm asking for your vote... so together, we can keep moving america forward. i'm barack obama and i approve this message.

wanted to avoid problems. let's take another view of new york city and a fire that overnight in lower queens at a breezy point. this as an adult 50 houses. started as a small fire. about 50 houses. the firefighters had to wade get to theer to scene and by the time the got there, the fire spread. it had already spread to so many houses and now some 50 houses affected and two injuries happened. that was a valiant effort and are out there.s there is up to 10 feet of r in parts of new york city.

would ban all abortions and contraception seemed a bit extreme. so i looked into it. turns out, romney doesn't oppose contraception at all. in fact, he thinks abortion should be an option in cases of rape, incest, or to save a mother's life. this issue's important to me, but i'm more concerned about the debt our children will be left with. i voted for president obama last time, but we just can't afford four more years.
